Nepal: Window to the Heavens will certainly wet your appetite for high altitude adventure. The book contains over 200 award winning photographs. It is the ultimate 'show and tell' visual travelogue on Nepal, predominantly in the Everest region, but also includes Pokhara and Kathmandu. Paul R Davies as author and illustrator spent two trekking seasons in Nepal, where he photographed mind-blowing landscapes, through to the traditional architecture and friendly local people. He captions every single photo carefully, and also narrates key parts of his trekking journey from the low foothills of the Himalayas to the ultimate pinnacle of Kala Pattar, overlooking Mount Everest itself. The book also includes topographic maps, anecdotes and advice on how to carry out a successful triekking trip in the world's highest mountains. If you are a lover of the outdoors and you have either been to Nepal or wish to go, then this book is the perfect read. Paul has travelled to over 60 countries but maintains that Nepal is his favourite country of all. There is a dream-like quality about the Himalayas, in which every corner you turn is a spellbinding new colourful vista, with cascading river, high jewel-like peaks and swirling clouds. This book encapsulates the very best visual journey into the majestic Himalayas, and to the very foot of the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest.
